- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 flighted, there's turn and it takes the leading edge to be caught at cover! Crane strikes with his third ball and it's another key wicket down, Wessels trying to work against the spin and presenting a dolly of a catch into the off side 71/32.3 shorter, cutting the fingers over it - and sliced to backward point, Hales goes! Afridi holds on tumbling to his left and Wood is off and running in celebration! Big wicket for Hants, as Hales can give you a monstering on his day. Cleverly bowled, just sat up a bit and he couldn't keep on top of his cut 23/15 full toss wide of the stumps - chopped to short third man! Not a great delivery but Moores was swinging like a drunk at closing time, flew off the outside edge but Abbott was alert and clung on falling over backwards 49/212.2 gives this some extra air, it grips as Taylor hits down the ground... and sends a spiralling catch to long-off! Afridi breaks a patient stand and Notts' post-Powerplay predicament gets worse 99/415.3 slows this one up, Patel gets right under a slap into the sky... taken at long-off! All height and no trousers for Patel on that shot, Dawson removes him and Hants keep applying the brakes at (in)opportune moments 122/517 full and wide, sweetly struck on the lofted drive - but slapped straight to deep cover! Abbott took some tap but he finally succeeds in removing Christian 143/617.4 tossed up, Mullaney aims a punishing drive... only to squirt another catch to Afridi at short third man! Dawson picks up another, Mullaney not happy with his execution but he has to go as the Star Man clings on again 148/7Extras2 (b 1, lb 1)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Alex Hales, 2.3 ov), 2-49 (Tom Moores, 4.6 ov), 3-71 (Riki Wessels, 7.3 ov), 4-99 (Brendan Taylor, 12.2 ov), 5-122 (Samit Patel, 15.3 ov), 6-143 (Dan Christian, 16.6 ov), 7-148 (Steven Mullaney, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 first ball! Boom Boom has gone bust! Dragged down short, basically a long hop, Afridi goes for the pull and can only splice it as far as deep midwicket 0/16 taken at mid-on! How Notts needed that. A short-of-a-length delivery dug into the pitch, a cross-seam cutter, Dickinson tries to clear the leg side but can only miscue towards mid-on where Christian jogs back to take the catch 55/214.2 picks out deep square leg! Gets down to play a pull/sweep type shot, and it's well held by Taylor. That could be a huge moment 120/510.4 he's done it! Lovely stuff from Mullaney. A full delivery at just 60mph, Alsop pushing forward and can only spoon the catch, low to the bowler who did well to take it diving forward 97/312.2 middle stump! Mullaney having a big say on things. Bailey swinging across the line of a length delivery, just through his shot. 105/414.4 direct hit! It ran towards short third man off the outside off, Patel with the throw and Carberry is short. A few moments that change the game 120/617.1 finds long-on! Over the wicket, a back-of-the-hand slower ball full at the stumps, Dawson opts to try and clear the leg side but doesn't get it far enough 140/717.3 Wessels at long-on again! Nottinghamshire closing in. It's the slower balls from Gurney, not pace to work with, lofts down the ground and the fielder didn't have to move 140/817.4 and another! This is brilliant from Gurney. He's confounding them with the back-of-the-hand slower balls, this one is popped in the air into the off side and Christian runs round from cover 140/918.4 all over! Finishes it with a leg stump yorker. Terrific delivery to complete an impressive bowling display 146/10Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL146 all out (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.82)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Shahid Afridi, 0.1 ov), 2-55 (Calvin Dickinson, 5.6 ov), 3-97 (Tom Alsop, 10.4 ov), 4-105 (George Bailey, 12.2 ov), 5-120 (James Vince, 14.2 ov), 6-120 (Michael Carberry, 14.4 ov), 7-140 (Liam Dawson, 17.1 ov), 8-140 (Gareth Berg, 17.3 ov), 9-140 (Kyle Abbott, 17.4 ov), 10-146 (Chris Wood, 18.4 ov)
